From the Doctor:

Before I became a physician, I was a funeral director for many years. Watching people die unnecessarily from not seeing a doctor or missing out on routine preventive screenings pushed me to pursue medical school. I want my patients to live longer and healthier lives and I believe optimal health care comes from a partnership between the patient and the doctor. My goal is to educate and support my patients and to provide the quality, individualized care that every patient deserves.

In my spare time, I enjoy being active and going to the beach with my husband and 170-pound dog, Jackson.
